Motorcycle safety
• 24% of world traffic death occurs among motorcyclists 2
• On average, more than 70 motorcyclists are killed in road traffic crashes
every week, and more than 13 motorcyclists are killed every day in
Malaysia 1,2

1 Road condition Motorcycle safety is influence by the road condition:
rutting, corrugation, cracks, potholes, undulation

systematically and cost-effectively by the road authorities
due to lack of funds.

designed for four-wheeled vehicles and rarely for
motorcycles.

Why motorcycles?• Behaviour of motorcycle is different from that of car (Kitani et al. 2012)
– A motorcycle is not able to be self-standing,
– A rider should always keep the motorcycle’s balance to avoid a road crash
– A motorcycle leans its body to turn into a corner – counter balance to the centrifugal force
• It is with this criteria (i.e. need balancing and complex handling) motorcycles have the advantage (over a 4-
wheeled vehicle) to move horizontally on the road lane and with its instability will make the motorcycle
more sensitive to the road surface condition and quality (Lenkeit et al. 2011, Kitani 2013).
• Motorcycle is a natural ITS ‘probe’ – unristricted and free

Our approach and aim
• The aim of the work presented in this paper was to
develop an application software for monitoring the
condition of the road surface via a smartphone app
mounted on a motorcycle.

Briefing to test rider and crew Test rider going over a pothole
Test rider going over a road hump Test rider performing ‘weaving’ action
Pilot testThe pilot test was conducted in 15th
November 2016 (9.30am) at the
Kajang district.
The objective of the pilot test is to
test ROCOM capability in detecting
the road defects and adverse riding
condition based on the type of
device mounting style.
The mounting style tested for
ROCOM are:
1. On the handle bars,
2. In the motorcycle basket or
compartment
3. In the rider’s backpack
At the starting point Mounting the smartphone
Test rider performing ‘weaving’ action Test rider performing abrupt braking action
The field test was conducted on the
25th November 2016 (9.00am) at
Jalan Seksyen 2/15, Kajang Utama,
Kajang, Selangor.
The objective of the test was to test
ROCOM capabilities obtaining the
acceleration values on each obstacle,
when applied on various type of
riders and type of motorcycles.

through a 400m road section which
consists of eight (8) obstacle while
utilizing ROCOM.

Results - ROCOM• ROCOM is a mobile application and web-based system that is tailored
for motorcycle, in order to analyze the motion of a motorcycle when it interacts with the road surface condition and environment in order to identify the risky road section for motorcycle.

Road shoving or undulating surface or
depression surface such as potholes – resulting

Avoiding Pothole (weaving) – resulting a

Road cracks – resulting a

Abrupt stop approaching a hazard –

For ROCOM, we have design it in such a way that the rider would not require the smart phone to be oriented in exact orientation of x, y and z.
ROCOM emphasis on the detection of high or extreme acceleration or g-force with respect to the road defects or anomalies.

ROCOM calculates the distance traveled, average travel speed and the number of location that has more than 2g.
ROCOM maps out and display the riding path in Google map and mark the road sectionthat are risky to motorcycle.
The motorcycle’s motion (raw data) is collected using the accelerometer built in a smart phone or tablet that records the vertical and horizontal acceleration when it goes over a road defects or adverse traffic condition

Summary
• Results from the field test indicated that ROCOM is able to detect various obstacles with the average of successful detection rate of 61.9%– The highest successful detection rate (80%) occurs when riders passed
through Uneven surface and Humps 2 and 3.
• ROCOM intends to assist road authorities by providing information on the location of road section that is risky for motorcyclists and plan for road maintenance and road safety audit.
• It is a pro-active measures when it is fully cloud base
• A cost effective measure for detecting road defect
• User friendly and accessible – install in smart mobile devices

Challenges / future plans for ROCOM
• Google map accuracy
– In the process of collaborating with JUPEM to obtain Malaysia base
map
• Public buying in – applying ‘carrot’ to motorcyclists (reducing
cost of bikes or reducing road tax, etc.)
• Video integration is also in the plan – visual tracking
• We have not tested for a long ride – need more capacity?
